"There is someone I like, but the person I like doesn't like me." Cai Zhenyi glanced at Gu Yuqing.
Gu Zongyan smiled and said, "My daughter is also too career-oriented. I actually hope she's a little dumber and has less career achievements. If she can just live a normal life, maybe she'll be happier than she is now."
Gu Yuqing's face darkened as she listened to this. She whispered, "Isn't it all because of you that I can't live a normal life?"
"What did you say?"
"It doesn't matter if I can't hear it."
Gu Zongyan added, "Anyway, I'm leaving Gaoshan Capital to her to manage. If she doesn't manage it well, I'll replace her."
Gu Yuqing said coldly, "It's you who's directly involved in the investment, be careful not to lose everything."
Gu Zongyan put down his wine glass: "Which one are you talking about?"
Cai Zhenyi was about to fight, but Gu Yuqing turned her head away: "Anyway, I'm just giving you a reminder."
She didn't bother to care about investments that weren't hers. She didn't want to take the blame anyway.
Gu Zongyan was a little drunk and asked, "Does Yuqing have a crush on someone?"
"No." Gu Yuqing said simply.
Gu Zongyan smiled and propped up his cheeks, sighing, "You two have known each other since childhood. You are so familiar with each other, so why didn't you create any sparks?"
Gu Yuqing smiled and said, "What's the point of being familiar with someone? The more familiar you are with some people, the more disgusted you become."
Seeing that his daughter was not giving him face, Gu Zongyan quickly changed the subject and clinked glasses with Cai Zhenyi:
"Come and have a drink. I hope you can win her over."
Cai Zhenyi clinked his glasses while looking at Gu Yuqing and sighed inwardly.
He felt that Gu Yuqing was getting farther and farther away.
This woman is always so out of reach, like a wild horse that can never be tamed.
Then, his gaze shifted to Gu Chengxi.
From the beginning, the girl had been looking at him curiously.
If Gu Yuqing can't pursue her, it's not impossible to start with a simple one. She's definitely not as pretty as Gu Yuqing, but she's not that far behind. At least she's from the Gu family...
Cai Zhenyi thought.
However, pursuing Gu Yuqing was the young man's original intention. Should he go against his youthful ambitions?
Gu Chengxi noticed that Cai Zhenyi was looking at him and asked innocently:
"Uncle Cai, my coming-of-age ceremony will be soon. Can you come and attend it?"
Cai Zhenyi was drinking and was still struggling with himself in his head. Gu Chengxi kept calling him "Uncle Cai" and he almost spit out a mouthful of wine on the table.
After a long pause, he turned around and said with a pleasant expression:
"I'm only a few years older than you. It's not right to call me uncle, right? It's better to call me brother."
"Oh." Gu Chengxi blinked, not taking it seriously. "Then can you come to my coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Yes, of course I can. If Miss Gu invites me, I will definitely go."
Gu Zongyan said with a loving look on his face, "They're setting up the stage over at Bishuiwan. If you're curious, you can go and take a look."
Gu Chengxi said excitedly, "Sister, can you come with me?"
"I won't go." Gu Yuqing pushed the plate away.
I'm full.
…
On this day, when Chen Ya got off work, he took a bus going in the opposite direction.
I have been in the capital for a long time, but I have never walked on Xianyang Street. This time I took a car at night and saw the whole way, and only then did I realize how prosperous the capital is.
That's about it. Mainly traffic jam.
He took the bus in the opposite direction this time because he had finished the work at hand and suddenly remembered that there was something else to do.
Neon lights passed by the window glass, and Chen Ya seemed to see many memories flashing. When he arrived at Bishui Bay, he was the only one left in the car.
He got off the car alone and stepped into the most famous villa area in Beijing. He did not feel a sense of familiarity when he revisited the old place.
Instead, it feels very unfamiliar.
He didn't come to this place often, and he bought it as a love nest for him and Jiang Xinhai.
Later he went abroad, and Jiang Xinhai never came here out of spite, so this place fell into a semi-abandoned state.
At that time, this place had only one phase, and later the second, third and fourth phases were launched. The trained shopping guides all spoke authentic Beijing dialect and repeated to you that coming here meant being neighbors with Jiang Xinhai, making this place known to everyone as Jiang Xinhai Real Estate.
Chen Ya always felt that he should ask the developer here for advertising fees.
According to his memory, he walked through several laurel trees, passed under two clumps of mistletoe, walked along the winding lawn gravel path, and stood outside the low fence gate, but he didn't dare to recognize it.
Is this really my home?
Why... is it so lively?
He stood outside the fence gate, staring blankly at the manor. Several workers inside were erecting a flagpole with a chandelier hanging on it, a high platform and a long table, and had just arranged a rough outline.
It felt like Jiang Xinhai was going to hold a private concert here.
Chen Ya was standing at the door in a daze. A middle-aged man walked slowly by the side of the road with his hands behind his back, constantly looking back at him. His face seemed familiar, yet unfamiliar.
The man walked from Chen Ya's left rear to his right rear until he reached the side of the streetlight where he paused and asked uncertainly:
"Is that Mr. Chen?"
Chen Ya turned to look at the man: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man immediately came forward and extended his hands to shake his:
"Mr. Chen, I'm Xiao Jia, your neighbor. Have you forgotten me?"
Chen Ya quickly said, "It's Mr. Jia, hello."
In fact, he still didn't remember it very much. But considering the middle-aged man's age, calling him uncle was not too much of a concern, and he didn't dare to neglect him.
Mr. Jia patted his chest, handed over his business card, and said:
